Word comes from @neilhimself that the wise and wonderful Rachel Pollack is about to embark on her final journey. I've known her for 40 years, and if you haven't had that privilege, join us for lunch during better times to learn why she is such a treasure. https://scottedelman.com/2018/08/24/dive-into-vietnamese-seafood-noodle-soup-with-rachel-pollack-in-episode-75-of-eating-the-fantastic/

My friend the brilliant author Rachel Pollack is coming to the end of her life. She won the Nebula, World Fantasy and Arthur C Clarke awards. She is a world renowned expert on Tarot, and her books on Tarot are still regarded as the good standard. She created the first trans superhero, in Doom Patrol in '93. I will miss her very much when she goes. I am writing this at the request of her wife Zoe, to let her friends know that the end is soon, and to let the obituarists know too.
RIP Tatjana Patitz. Her work was a huge influence on my art.

With Monday off for New Year’s, I feel like a time traveler that took an edible. I keep having to tell myself “It’s Tuesday. The year is 2023. It’s Tuesday. The year is …”
Happy New Year!
Here’s 22 paintings I did in 2022

23 skidoo has been described as "perhaps the first truly national fad expression and one of the most popular fad expressions to appear in the U.S", to the extent that "Pennants and arm-bands at shore resorts, parks, and county fairs bore either [23] or the word 'Skiddoo'."

"23 skidoo" combines two earlier expressions, "twenty-three" (1899)[2] and "skidoo" (1901), both of which, independently and separately, referred to leaving, being kicked out, or the end of something.
